Abstract :

It is obvious that the Qur'an is the book of the life of Muslims and has had a great impact on all Islamic culture and literature. One of the greatest literary learners of the Qur'an is Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi Balkhi, and his outstanding work, Masnavi, is not so full of active concepts and teachings. It is a Qur'an and mysticism called the Persian Qur'an. In this article, we intend to compare and analyze the conceptual and mystical metaphors in the Qur'an and Masnavi. Metaphor is one of the literary arrays in Persian literature and is also available in other languages. Metaphor is examined from a variety of aspects, one of the important aspects of which is the conceptualization of metaphor, which is called "conceptual metaphor". The Holy Qur'an, which has a high level of texts, also has metaphors. Accordingly, in the present study, a comparative study of the semantics of metaphors of the first and the twentieth parts of the Qur'an and the first and second offices of Mashhavi Molavi have been discussed. The method of this research is descriptive-analytical with comparative approach. The results of the research showed that the conceptual metaphors used in the Holy Qur'an in the first part are more than the second part and concern topics such as worldly life and human guidance and the impact of heart. In other words, it can be said that the conceptual metaphors used in the Holy Qur'an focus more on the understanding of human beings and seek to understand this person. In the spiritual Masnavi, conceptual metaphors are in the domain of mystical concepts and paths to reach the beloved, often expressed by concepts related to love, such as fire and hearts, and so on. In sum, the common sense of the Quranic metaphors and spiritual masnavas can be discussed in the "Dell" sections.
